On this thrilling episode of Dr Dray, we dive headfirst into the world of lipomas and sebaceous cysts. These pesky lumps may have you worried, but fear not - they're harmless! Lipomas, those firm, rubbery growths, stem from fat cells beneath the skin, while sebaceous cysts, filled with keratin, can be a bit more unpredictable. Unlike lipomas, these cysts can rupture, causing inflammation and scarring - a bit like a ticking time bomb under your skin!
Now, here's the kicker - lipomas, although they can grow quite large, won't burst on you. But those sebaceous cysts? Oh, they're troublemakers, ready to pop at a moment's notice. Dr Dray breaks down the differences between these two troublemakers with the precision of a surgeon. Lipomas are like unwelcome guests that overstay their welcome, while sebaceous cysts are more like party crashers, causing chaos wherever they go.
But fear not, dear viewers, for Dr Dray has the remedy for these bothersome bumps. Whether you opt to leave them be or go under the knife, the choice is yours. Just remember, squeezing and prodding won't do you any favors - it's a recipe for disaster! So sit back, relax, and let Dr Dray guide you through the maze of lumps and bumps on this wild ride of a skincare adventure.
